The whole school watched the film 'My Neighbour Totoro (G)' as part of the whole school inquiry topic and discussed various aspects of the Japanese culture with a guest speaker. Then, some students drew their versions of Totoro. Some of thowe Totoros were made into felt dolls in early Term 3, 2011.
At the end of Term 2, 2011, the whole school enjoyed the Indonesian dance and music performance by Bagus Kan. They also enjoyed the Wayang Kulit performance, which was a story told through shadow puppets. It was very entertaining!
